Starting with <root> as the context node, you can select the marked B nodes
using
A/preceding-sibling::B[1]

Subject: [xsl] Testing for a following sibling node type that
occurs at a varied position
I wasn't sure on how else to phrase the subject, but here is
what I need
help in figuring out:
I need to detect when a specific sibling node follows the
context node in
the document order, the catch is that it is not always
located the same
number of positions after the context node, if it were,
something like this
would work:
--------------------------------------------------------------
following-sibling::node()[1][self::A]
--------------------------------------------------------------
Here is an XML example to illustrate my situation:
--------------------------------------------
<root>
<A>text</A>
<B>text</B>
<B>text</B>
<B>text</B> (indicate this node based on
following sibling 'A')
<C>text</C>
<C>text</C>
<C>text</C>
<A>text</A>
<B>text</B>
<B>text</B>
<B>text</B>
<B>text</B> (indicate this node based on
following sibling 'A')
<D>text</D>
<D>text</D>
<A>text</A>
<B>text</B>
<B>text</B> (indicate this node based on
following sibling 'A')
<C>text</C>
<A>text</A>
<B>text</B>
<B>text</B>
<B>text</B>
<B>text</B> (indicate this node based on
following sibling 'A')
<C>text</C>
<D>text</D>
<D>text</D>
<D>text</D>
<C>text</C>
<A>text</A>
</root>
--------------------------------------------
I want to implement a feature that corresponds w/ the last
'B' node that
occurs before the next 'A' node.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Steve
